Match Thread | Manchester City vs. Burnley (27/09/25)

[hertsblue]

4 or 5 players aren’t performing this afternoon

Some are just not at the standard required to be even be close to a title challenging team. Just a severe lack of creativity and goals throughout

 

[Alexia_Ko]

He literally is 3/3 dribbles. What you talking about?

3/3 backwards maybe

 

[heslops barnet]

That goal was rather symptomatic of our problems on that side in this game. Savinho woefully slow tracking his man, Nunes unsure about how to defend, and Dias slow to react to balls on the ground across his body.

Summed up in 2 sentences

 

[pudge]

Haaland clearly not fit, he can't move at all.

Or just doesn't want to

 

[ScottSinclair]

Started so well and then we blasted ourselves in the foot. Shite

 

[Blueknows]

He has gone past him at least 3 times on the outside just his final ball was shit when he got there

And he's on a booking

 

[Chak19]

Back to the slow rubbish again, nothing's changed.

 

[King Jay]

Yet you champion Savinho

27 yr old 80M compared
To 21
Yr old 25M. You don’t see reijnders at all. Savinho at least gets past his opponent.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Come on City, need to reassert ourselves here

 

[heslops barnet]

There's me thinking 4 or 5 -0 christ on a bike blues wake the fuck up

That’s your first mistake…

He was moving excellently the other week.

 

[paulsimpson]

yeah erling keep just standing there i am sure the ball will magically find its way to you through the defender you're hiding behind

Low block means he won't see much of the ball so we have to create something for him.

Just saw Reijnders go past three players

He has thrived from playing on the break all week. Now we have to break a team down he looks a bit like he did last season.

 

[wolviedinho]

The team is is a current state of okish.

Lowering expectations is required.

 

[East Level 2]

Mentality is key right now.

We're fucked then.

 

[theholysmurf]

Need to use the dark arts, they’ve got two full backs on yellows

 

[madloaf]

He can move, he did it for our goal. Any other movement is wasted coz clearly pep has been coaching this week so "no through balls please, we're city".

 

[N1985]

Yeah well done Matheus.

 

[Gumzy97]

We lack urgency.
